What is the oldest truck you guys would own/drive?

just remember one thing older means a little more tlc. U better be mech incline. Depending how old u have mech slack adjusters,throttle springs. Little stuff needs be kept up with. Greased more often because dump work is partial off road. Ull be fixin stuff every weekend. Just be handy with a wrench or ur maintance bill eat u alive.

 

I'd drive that old beast. Fits in with the landscape up there.

 

I'd drive my 79 k100. I parked it after i bought my 379. Anyways, it has a 350 BC1 cpl 369, Pump was putting over 300 psi, oversize injectors,and a HT 4 Holset to make up for the fuel. Still have it, miss those day's.

 

One of these days, I'll get me another mid/late 70s W900. I loved that truck.

 

I drove one as a greenhorn. I was born and raised in Mack country.

And I forgot to add...... no front brakes!

 

I'd get the oldest truck I could that parts were still redily available for. My biggest regret is taking the check in feb 2010 when my 03 int'l with a cummins n14 was totalled out. I could have rebuilt the font and that was smashed up for prolly 1/4 of what I've put into my 05 volvo since april of same year, and am still paying on for 2 yrs. Alot of what I've had to pay for is the emissions and newer electronic crap. Granted had I not run the int'l up the ### of a snowplow i would still have it..........
